The Doctoral Consortium will take place in conjunction with the 2nd International Conference on Information Systems Security and Privacy, (ICISSP), to be held February 19 - 21 in Rome, Italy. The ICISSP 2016 doctoral consortium will provide an opportunity for graduate students to explore their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished experts in the field. 

The Doctoral Consortium on Information Systems Security and Privacy is intended to bring together Ph.D. students within the information systems security and privacy field to discuss their research in an international forum. 
More precisely, the Doctoral Consortium will provide students with an opportunity to: 
- Present their research work in a relaxed and supportive environment; 
- Receive feedback and suggestions from peers and experienced faculty members; 
- Gain an overview of the breadth and depth of information systems security and privacy; 
- Obtain insight into directions for information systems security and privacy research taken by other doctoral candidates; 
- Discuss concerns about research, supervision, the job market, and other issues; 
- Network with peers and future colleagues. 

Thus, the symposium will help shape ongoing and future research projects aimed at information systems security and privacy, will promote scholarship and networking among new researchers in this emerging interdisciplinary area, and will expose these promising young researchers to the larger global community.
